1. 1.

   Add the flour to a bowl and press a well in the center. Warm the milk slightly and pour it into the well. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and add 1 tsp of whole grain sugar. Stir the milk with a little flour until you get a thick batter. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.

   Roll out the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. With your fingers press small wells into the dough and drop butter flakes into them. Sprinkle the remaining whole grain sugar and toasted almonds over the dough.

   Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (gas: level 3-4, convection: 180°C) for 20–25 minutes. Cut the almond butter cake into pieces and serve.
